Within six days of SpaceX's June 12 IPO, six U.S. House members or their families purchased between $83,000 and $245,000 in SpaceX shares. Five of these lawmakers serve on committees overseeing sectors related to SpaceX's business, such as defense and AI, raising potential conflict of interest concerns despite no evidence of insider trading. The trades were legal and disclosed, but ethics experts warn these holdings blur lines between lawmakers' duties and financial interests. This comes amid ongoing debates in Congress about restricting stock trading by lawmakers to prevent conflicts.
